The following is a handwritten note by Clark, date unknown.
????. The Word KnowledgeThe Word Knowledge
Knowledge is an ambiguous term.
It may refer to the mode of knowledge, i.e. the knowing
The mental activity
It may also refer to the object of knowledge
Cf. Acts 4:13 [boldness of Peter and John – unlearned and ignorant] “they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.”
Knowledge does not refer to the mental activity of the priest but to the information that they had been with Jesus
N. B. I am not discussing the Greek work, but the English word. There the Greek word is a verb. Further the Greek uses two verbs where the English has only know i.e. English word knowledge is more ambiguous, has a wider meaning than either Greek word
Cf. Job 21:14
Job 21:22
Dan 12:4!
Acts 24:22: Felix had a “more perfect knowledge.”
